True North Coral Atoll Cruise (6 nights)

Blue linckia star fish and corals, Rowley Shoals © Tourism WADeparting from and returning to Broome  (See Departure Dates
The Coral Atoll Cruise allows you to dive pristine coral atolls and experience the rugged Kimberley coastline.  Just over 180 nautical miles west of Broome, through some of the world's richest game fishing waters, lie the three atolls of Mermaid Reef, Clerke Reef and Imperious Reef, which make up the Rowley Shoals.  They are perched on the edge of Australia's continental shelf at one of its widest and deepest points and are near perfect examples of atoll geomorphology.  They are a diver's paradise and the opportunity for cave and night dives adds an extraordinary dimension to an already surreal coral scape.  The Shoals are home to over 600 species of fish, with two thirds of Australia's tropical species being found here, and Maori wrasse, barracuda, coral trout, angelfish, morays and turtles are in abundance.  Rowley Shoals are among the few reefs in the world affected by a high tidal range. The dramatic five metre tides pouring massive volumes in and out of the coral framework have created unearthly and enchanting coral scapes.
